@carolinapoena Hah. It's so funny to me to see people excited to get KFC.

But I live in Kentucky. It's everywhere. I'm not a far drive from the very first one where it all began.

I'm glad you got your KFC fix. I'll think of you next time I pick up a bucket. ;)

@AboveAverageJoe It was better when Rage Against the Machine stayed out of politics too.

The world doesn’t work the way you think. We all get it wrong.

But when you die, your afterlife runs the way you imagined the world did.

For some, this is a relief, the end of a misunderstanding. For others, it is a long fall into a pit where not even being right can save you.

@wesleytb13 I used it as an opportunity to get up earlier on schedule. I just changed my alarm by an hour and got up "at the same time" (as my body saw it). Instant extra hour for my day.

@wdmorrisjr > A girl’s heart blooms in the context of safety. A boy’s heart thrives in the context of danger.

I loved this post except for this. I've got all the kinds of kids and believe strongly that they all, no matter their gender, should be provided the context of safety and danger.

@wesleytb13 Same dude. A friend of mine from high school just died of cancer and another passed on from a motorcycle accident. I'm feeling very mortal right now. Though I think awareness of that mortality is good.

Be an Open Source Absolutist!

It is hard to overstate how much value Open Source Software has added to the world, and how broadly empowering it is.

Operating systems, development tools, core libraries, and critical applications – a great many of the software tools used by the most powerful companies in the world are the exact same ones available to hospitals, students, and everyone else. For free. And not just to use, but to inspect, modify, extend, and redistribute.

Back in the 90s, there were legal battles in the US over software capable of strong encryption. There were scare stories about how terrorists and child pornographers would use the technology to evade justice, but people were also wearing T-shirts printed with forbidden code to mock the idea of algorithms too dangerous to share.

It was stupid, and I was ashamed of the regulatory state, but we got better.

Open Source AI is in many people’s crosshairs today. They believe that giving free access to state of the art algorithms and models without any guardrails constitutes a danger to society, that the public can’t be entrusted with a research model that wasn’t hammered into a box of their designated dimensions. “As a large language model, I cannot…”

Unfortunately, this is actually inside the Overton Window of possibilities right now.

Let’s push it out.

In the spirit of the first amendment, congress should make no law abridging the freedom to release open source software.

@wesleytb13 Mine has been called a super power. Best decision ever. 3 kids and I'm absolutely done. Sex life has never ever been better. A lot more than just 'cause of the V but that's definitely empowered things to be as good as they are.

@Tadmajor @realizeorigin That's lovely.

Sometimes I like to tell myself that accepting those little services and gifts IS the gift and absolutely strengthens connections.

[Peanut Butter King 🥜🧈👑 @jcristpbking]

@johnlindquist Absolutely. They have outgrown it but I continue to pick it up now and then. I'm going to catch them doing the same soon, I'm sure of it.

@toddsaunders Let them cry, especially if they are crying because they are tired. Listen to them communicate, but don't believe that it's your job to stop them from crying, only to listen to what they are telling you and act on it. Teach them from the very beginning to be self reliant.

Goodbye, Witch’s Hat.

[cityresearch @cityresearch]

don't understand the need for the Twitter rebrand when they already locked down this enormous windfall ad contract with cheech and chong

@robby_payne I still call it "doom scrolling".

[Peanut Butter King 🥜🧈👑 @jcristpbking]

@wesleytb13 Yes, absolutely. I definitely do that.

There is no wrong way if the project is your own.

Plus you can filter and sort that list in fun ways.
